Montgomery’s Carol Villa neighborhood features roomy family homes on large lots located just inside the bypass.

The winding streets and plentiful trees of Carol Villa help create a neighborhood that has been a mainstay among more established Capital City developments.

Carol Villa runs from near Sam’s Club and Interstate 85 northward to Atlanta Highway on the west side of the bypass. The larger neighborhood showcases ranch-style homes along streets, cul-de-sacs and dead-ends that appear throughout the neighborhood.

“Carol Villa is a very conveniently located neighborhood,” Realtor Pam Morgan said. “Most of the houses are ranch style and built in the early 1970s. The houses are very well maintained. The neighborhood appeals to all age groups.”

She added that homes average selling in 106 days. “Houses sell fairly quickly,” she said.

There is terrain in Carol Villa to match any homeowner’s preference, from flat lots to gently sloping and hilly.

Major employers including Gunter Annex, Eastdale Mall, Auburn Montgomery, Faulkner University, downtown offices and Baptist East hospital are all less than 10 minutes away. Plentiful shopping and dining options are a turn or two away along Atlanta Highway and the bypass.

Carol Villa is blessed with many mature trees throughout the neighborhood. Lots provide plenty of acreage for swimming pools, children play areas, landscaping or gardens.

One home is for sale for $134,900 and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms within 1,860 square feet of living space.

“The home has been beautifully renovated,” Morgan said. “The floor plan has been opened up to include a very large great room, dining room, and kitchen. It also features new hardwood floors. The main bath has been redone to include a large walk-in shower. There are four large bedrooms with a lot of storage and two closets in the main bedroom. The yard is beautifully landscaped with a wired workshop.”

At least a dozen homes are now on the market in Carol Villa, starting at just less than $90,000.

Another four-bedroom, two-bath home is for sale for $109,900. It was built in 1973 and covers 1,720 square feet of living space.
